What is going on with Tesla? They just reduced the price of FSD to $8,000. At its peak FSD was $15,000. In 2020 Elon said the FSD price would only continue to rise as it got closer to full self-driving regulatory approval. I’m assuming this price drop is a money/data grab.

Why it worked

Opens with a question, so the reader starts answering before they have decided to read.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Context → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
